Thread: newbie needs input on otto deutsch razor find!

Unsure but I know somone will be able to help. That is a good looking find though.

I wonder if this particular otto deutsch predates other otto deutsch razor's? This otto deutsch only has two pins rather than the typical three pinned deutsch scaled razor. ????????????????????

I think that those scales might be custom, as in sombody did a partial inlay lift... If so it is a very nice job, if you could get some close ups of the inlay and the pins I might be able to tell for sure just from the pics...

What is the name on the tang does it say "Hans" ????

I'm in the same boat with you guys! Hehe! It sucks, but the antique shops in London are terrible. The only razor I did find was rusted to blazes and they wanted £270 for it!!

I did tell them I could get a new, shave ready Mastro Livi regrind for that much moolah...

It's a beauty, very nice find!

If you could see me I am green with envy. At least as green as those scales. Lovely razor and I have been looking for a minty 6/8 Deutsch for eons. Congrats on your find.

yes, it reads "Hans" on the tang. It's stamps are all the same as the typical Hans otto deutsch razor. You must know, when I found this razor in the antique shop it was very dirty and had some rust and gunk on it. All I have done to it is cleaned it up and used 1,000 grit paper. I will polish it next. I am just saying if someone custom made this razor it would have been done years ago by the look of the antique state I found it in. Here's some more pics. Thankyou for the input!
